Well, my small Solar Power plant (5KW) for few of my factory machines has completed yesterday and is working great. So now I can survive the 13+ hours PowerCut (PER DAY) without any issue. I AM VERY VERY HAPPY NOW... Infact this is the reason, I have to cancel my Rimweb meet and very least participation in our forum this month...

^^^ Why PM when you're asking for help from everyone openly? Should also share openly so everyone knows.

After long time felt so much happy... Bought a cycle in colombo and went for long ride(15KM) along the beach... :-) Chalo aaj bachpan ka koi khel khelen, badi muddat hui bewajah hans kar nhi dekha.... ate this ...half riped mango with salt & red chilli powder... :-) that too in this season.. :-)

The new cap on cooking gas would come into effect from April 1, oil minister M Veerappa Moily said after the meeting of the Cabinet's panel on political affairs that took the decisions.

This level was earlier set at three cylinders during the period.

Google integrates Google Drive with Gmail, now allows attachments as big as 10GB Source Google has integrated its new cloud storage service Google Drive with Gmail through which now users will be able to have attachments as big as 10GB. Previously, Gmail only allowed users to upload a maximum size of 25MB, so this new integration with Google Drive really propels the maximum attachment size. This is actually 400 times that of the current limit, and indeed is very handy to have. So the way this works is pretty simple. Instead of downloading an enormous 10GB file, Google will upload all the data on the cloud and the recipients have to have access to the most up-to-date version. To start attaching instead of clicking the ‘paperclip’ button one just has to click on the ‘Drive’ icon. Additionally, Google will be double-checking in the backend to keep a track so that the recipients are receiving access to the sent files. This works like Gmail’s forgotten attachment detector. Google is currently in the process of rolling out this new feature and it is only available through the new Gmail compose experience so one has to opt in for that to have access to the Drive integration.

Mothers day: I wanted to write this down since many days (weeks) but today is right moment i feel..... Few months back my mummy mastered the art of googling and find song in Youtube and elsewhere, then she learned to create playlist and transfer songs in iPod, then she went on to listening directly youtube stream on her mobile which she carried everywhere. One fine day she was listening to some very old folk song sung by some unknown artist in UP (our ancestors are from UP and type of bhojpuri is our native language) She kept on listing till night - next day i heard same till night again of and on she played this 3-4 days, i hardly understand it so i didn't asked. finally she came to me and told me i am so happy "I found the song that my mother used to sing to me when i was a child" i have very distinct memory of it but i had almost forgotten lyrics. I felt very very happy i just can't express - modern gadget gave my mummy those childhood memories back of her mother. Happy Mothers day to all - please express it to her now.
